LETS GO CLANGEN TIME: Moon 0 - The Beginning

Meet the four founders of PoppyClan- a group of kits washed away by a flood into the wet plains miles away. Their home destroyed and loved ones gone, the eldest apprentice, FallenPaw, steps up to lead them out of the dark. Taking the name FallenDapple, she guides her three young clanmates out of the much and into a warm clearing to dry. That night, she is plagued by haunting dreams of cats clawing their way out of the water, pulling her under the waves- until she resurfaces in a cold, dark place. There, she is greeted by her lost brother, OleanderPaw, who tells her that this is all who could follow them from their once bursting StarClan. She can feel his loneliness. Begging for answers, she pleads with her brother to tell them what had happened; why had StarClan punished them so? "None of that now, FallenDapple. I've come here for a reason." Solemnly, he blesses her with the last of his strength as a spirit, gifting her eight extra lives to make it through the coming moons. When she awakens, a single Poppy has grown between her paws, watered by the excess droplets that had clung to her wet fur.
